Congratulations!

First, let me thank you for your interest in being a part of the first stages of Mt. View's iPod Touch Initiative!
Mrs. Varljen and I are very excited to be able to provide you and your students with this wonderful opportunity. It is our goal that this initiative will increase student vocabulary, literacy, numeracy, and science skills in the primary grades. It is our goal to gain data to achieve our goal, and use to further the initiatives through grant-writing.

On this page, you will find some very important information about the initiative and resources that we will share during training!

One of the wonderful things about this initiative is that those individuals involved will become their own PLN (Professional Learning Network). Since this technology is specific to the following participants and their classrooms. It is important that we keep communication open amongst one another to learn from each other and obtain support from one another.
